About

Hi, I'm Usama.

I am a careers specialist with hands-on experience in the telecommunications industry and a strong understanding of the earth and environmental sector through my degree. I founded CompassPoint Careers because I saw too many talented graduates getting overlooked, not because they lacked ability, but because they did not know how to present themselves in a market flooded with generic applications.

I studied Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester, where I learned that beneath every surface there is structure waiting to be uncovered. I bring that same thinking to your career: understanding the layers, finding the right direction, and helping you navigate with confidence.

Every client I work with gets my full attention, genuine industry knowledge, and a strategy built around them rather than a template.
